A descriptive approach has been used to achieve the study objectives, with a sample including (165) families, and a questionnaire used as a key tool in collecting information.The study results showed that the services provided to individuals with ASD in rehabilitation centers were at a high standard, but the challenges dimension facing individuals with ASD in rehabilitation centers, were at an average level, and it is clear that the dimension of solutions that contribute to the development of services for individuals with ASD in rehabilitation centers was at a medium level.
